It aims to develop a critical understanding of the ways in which literary texts are a reflection of, and exploration of, the human condition, the study of which develops empathic understanding of human nature. High-quality English literature is writing which displays recognisable literary qualities and, although shaped by particular contexts, transcends them and speaks about the universality of the human condition. GCSE English Literature aims to enable students to appreciate these qualities, developing and presenting informed, critical responses to the ideas in literary texts and the ways writers present these ideas. It aims to enable students to make links between a variety of written texts and between the text and the context within which it was shaped.  \nInterpreting the everyday  \nMany texts use references to objects and animals that are an everyday part of the UK and British culture, but what if a student misses the allusion? For instance, specific references to birds are often used to aid plot, theme or character description. Is a students’ interpretation limited if they aren’t aware of the bird referenced?  \nOrnithological references  \nJane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte  \nExtract from Chapter XXXVII  \n‘It is a bright, sunny morning, sir,’ I said. ‘The rain is over and gone, and there is a tender shining after it: you shall have a walk soon.’  \nI had wakened the glow: his features beamed.  \n‘Oh, you are indeed there, my skylark! Come to me. You are not gone: not vanished? I heard one of your kind an hour ago, singing high over the wood: but its song had no music for me, any more than the rising sun had rays. All the melody on earth is concentrated in my Jane’s tongue to my ear (I am glad it is not naturally a silent one): all the sunshine I can feel is in her presence.’  \nThe water stood in my eyes to hear this avowal of his dependence; just as if a royal eagle, chained to a perch, should be forced to entreat a sparrow to become its purveyor. But I would not be lachrymose: I dashed off the salt drops, and busied myself with preparing breakfast.  \nSetting and perspective  \nGreat Expectations by Charles Dickens  \nExtract from Chapter III  \n[…] I saw the damp lying on the bare hedges and spare grass, like a coarser sort of spiders' webs; hanging itself from twig to twig and blade to blade. On every rail and gate, wet lay clammy, and the marsh mist was so thick, that the wooden finger on the post directing people to our village—a direction which they never accepted, for they never came there—was invisible to me until I was quite close under it. Then, as I looked up at it, while it dripped, it seemed to my oppressed conscience like a phantom devoting me to the Hulks.  \nThe mist was heavier yet when I got out upon the marshes, so that instead of my running at everything, everything seemed to run at me. This was very disagreeable to a guilty mind. The gates and dikes and banks came bursting at me through the mist, as if they cried as plainly as could be, “A boy with somebody else's pork pie! Stop him!” The cattle came upon me with like suddenness, staring out of their eyes, and steaming out of their nostrils […]  \nAll this time, I was getting on towards the river; but however fast I went, I couldn't warm my feet, to which the damp cold seemed riveted, as the iron was riveted to t","cbCaim2de25T0zwb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim2de25T0zwb","pdf",1217580,44,"English","# Statement of importance\n# Interpreting the everyday\n## Ornithological references\n## Setting and perspective\n# The Project\n# Case Study – Lord of the Flies\n# The English and Media Centre’s Really Wide Reading List\n# Discovering Literature from the British Library\n# Context of your classroom\n# Appendix\n# Bibliography","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the GCSE English Literature Hub schools network meeting booklet?\",\"answer\":\"It develops a critical understanding of how writers communicate ideas about the world and how readers respond.
